On August 25, 1915 the Allied Powers officially declared the entirety of the Ottoman Empire's Mediterranean coast under blockade after nearly a year of war and several months of direct hostilities with Ottoman troops. This blockade, while acknowledged to have played a role in producing severe shortages and civilian famine, remains understudied as an aspect of Allied policy during the First World War. This thesis critically examines the evolution of the blockade, particularly as it was manifested off the coast of Ottoman Syria where supply shortages and famine was particularly acute, in order to add dimension and depth to an aspect of the war that was both militarily significant and had a profound impact on daily civilian life throughout the war. The blockade of the Syrian coast was not a singular policy that emerged at the beginning of the war and remained constant; rather, it evolved over the first several years of the war in response to changing political and military circumstances and became fixed toward the end of 1915. The Allies had full knowledge that a blockade of the Ottoman Empire's Mediterranean coast would produce food and supply shortages to the detriment of the empire's civilian populations; however, this reality was understood as a necessary by-product of their wartime policies.
